Up to 30% of your properties cost as a Tax Refund [1]


A little known and specialist Tax Allowance called Embedded Capital Allowance can be claimed either as a tax refund or to reduce your tax bill.
So what is an Embedded Capital Allowance and why is it different to the Capital Allowance my accountant claimed?
Embedded Capital Allowances are excluded items from a capital allowances claim and are items that might be considered to be part of the building for example toilets, baths, sinks air conditioning, fire panels, fire doors, kitchens, boilers, electrical appliances.
Can you make a claim?
You/your business is eligible to claim if you can answer yes to all the following questions
You are the owner of a freehold/leasehold commercial property.
The property is being used for commercial use such as factory, office, shop, Holiday Let, Serviced Accomodation, Hotels, Some HMO's
You are a UK tax payer
According to HMRC 90% of eligible properties have not claimed this valuable allowance. Changes to this allowance mean it is now time limited. New rules apply for purchases post 2014 where a two year time limit applies to claim or lose out. For properties owned pre 2012 there is no time restriction.
To claim you will need a specialist surveyor, solicitor and accountant to work together to submit a claim to HMRC.
All sounds a bit complicated I hear you say.
